The YotaPhone 2, which ranks as one of the coolest and more novel Android smartphones in recent memory, is headed to the United States. Phone Scoop reports that the company plans to launch an Indiegogo campaign in the spring and make the phone available for around $600. Should that prove successful — and we have a good feeling it might — YotaPhone is also hoping to release the device through third-party retailers like Best Buy. From the front, YotaPhone 2 looks like any other Android phone, but it's the e-paper display around back that's earned the device so much praise.

Apple overtook Samsung to regain the top position in global smartphone sales in the fourth quarter, a market tracker said Tuesday. The survey by Gartner found Apple grabbed a 20.4 percent share of smartphone sales to end users, boosted by the introduction of its large-screen iPhones. South Korea's Samsung saw its share tumble to 19.9 percent, as its smartphone sales dropped to 73 million units. Other surveys showed Apple and Samsung in a virtual tie, but Gartner showed a clear lead for the US firm.

Samsung on Sunday announced that the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge are going to get their own version of the Gear VR, the company’s own virtual reality headset that lets users enjoy immersive VR content with help of compatible devices — you actually have to insert the smartphone inside the headset to make it all work. Naturally, I had to take the new model for a hands-on, and eyes-in spin at Samsung’s booth at MWC 2015. FROM EARLIER: Samsung Galaxy S6 hands-on: Meet the smartphone to beat in 2015 First, the bad news: the headset is rather gigantic, and while it’s not uncomfortable to wear, it would be a pain to carry it around.

Almost every major manufacturer (Samsung, HTC, Sony, Motorola, LG, etc.) elects to do this, and now they've got the option of adding Waze to that roster of bundled apps. By making this move, Google is exposing Waze to an even larger potential audience, and all of its routing functions should get even smarter as a result.

After the Galaxy S5 was a huge letdown to smartphone fans around the world — and to Samsung, in terms of sales numbers — the South Korean giant had a tough road ahead when it began developing the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge. It’s still early, but it’s already pretty safe to say that Samsung came through this time around. The company unveiled fresh new smartphones that are not only the most gorgeous handsets Samsung has ever made, but also phones that are packed full of exciting next-generation mobile technology. Did Samsung succeed in building new phones with brawn that matches their beauty? As they say, benchmark performance test results speak louder than words.

By Edward Taylor FRANKFURT (Reuters) - General Motors is launching its digital Onstar connection service in Europe this year, offering Opel and Vauxhall buyers free car connectivity for the first year after purchase. Cars are equipped with their own mobile phone SIM card, enabling Opel to get in touch with a driver if an airbag deploys and alert emergency services, or to remotely unlock the car if somebody has locked keys into the vehicle.

Separately, Neumann said that Opel and Vauxhall would need to make up for lost sales in Russia by boosting growth in other markets.
